學佛法一定要懂得一門深入 - 第165集
In learning Buddhism, one must know how to delve deeply into one subject
如果真正用功，真的從看破放下上去做，會有很大的成就。為什麼？佛經上所講的真實之際，它不是假的，字字句句無量義，講不完。我們這部經講一千多個小時，跟學校課本不一樣，大學裡頭沒有一門功課要學一千多個小時的，二個小時是一個學分，六、七百個學分，這大學裡頭沒有的。
If you really put effort into seeing through and letting go, you are bound to have remarkable achievement. Why is that so? Because the ultimate truth mentioned in the Buddhist sutra is not false; we can never finish explaining the sutra texts because every word and sentence connotes infinite meanings. Unlike school textbooks, we spent more than a thousand hours to lecture on this sutra. There is not a single module in college that requires over a thousand hours of study. Let’s assume one credit is two hours, our lecture is equivalent to 600-700 credits. Such an intensive module is not available in college.
所以佛法一定要懂得一門深入，千萬不能搞多了，搞多就雜，雜了心就亂，精神不能集中。你學的是什麼？學的是世間法，佛法裡面的皮毛常識，你學這個東西。它的真正東西意在言外，所以必須用心去體會，用什麼？用真心。什麼叫真心？
That’s why in learning Buddhism, one must know how to delve deeply into one subject. Do not ever learn too many things because doing so will cause your mind to become confused and unable to focus. What are you learning? You are learning mundane teachings which are superficial knowledge in Buddhism. The real things in Buddhism are beyond words, so you have to comprehend them with your mind. What mind should you use? You must use the true mind. What is called ‘true mind’?
不起心、不動念是真心，起心動念用的是妄心，妄心決定得不到。這個是佛法難的地方，跟世間完全不一樣，世間可以用分別執著去學，佛法決定不可以。用分別執著去學，佛法就變成世間法，佛法就失掉了。法沒有失掉，我們學習失掉了，我們學不到真東西。學到真東西一定要知道放下。
Not giving rise to thoughts is the true mind, while giving rise to thoughts is the deluded mind. You can never comprehend the essence of Buddhism if you learn it with the deluded mind. This is the difficult part of Buddhism. It is totally different from mundane teachings whereby you can learn them with discrimination and attachments, but not Buddhism. If you learn Buddhism with discrimination and attachments, Buddhism will become mundane teachings. The Dharma is not lost, but we have failed to comprehend the real things. That’s why we must know how to let go if we want to acquire the real things in Buddhism.
